Multiprotocol fw werkt niet lekker

Had er al 1, heb er nog 1 aangeschaft omdat die multi-protocol firmware niet lekker werkt, beetje jammer want heb dus 2 sticks moeten kopen. 1 voor Zigbee en de andere als Thread border router voor Matter. Daarom 3 sterren...

Hallo Ryan, bedankt voor jouw review!
Multiprotocol is een Beta FW en werkt inderdaad niet perfect. Het beste is het gebruik van 2 aparte dongles, maar vaak kan ook een andere apparaat thuis als Tread border router gebruik worden, hier vind je meer info erover: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/thread/
